Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
- The correct answer is (b). The 42nd Amendment was widely believed to be enacted to overcome the judicial interpretations of the Fundamental Rights. The amendment was passed in 1976 by the Indira Gandhi government, and it made a number of changes to the Constitution, including the addition of a new Fundamental Duties chapter and the dilution of some of the Fundamental Rights. The amendment was controversial, and it was eventually repealed in 1977.
- The correct answer is (b). Only two of the organizations/bodies listed are constitutional bodies: the National Human Rights Commission and the National Law Commission. The National Commission for Backward Classes and the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission are statutory bodies, which means that they were created by an act of Parliament. Constitutional bodies, on the other hand, are created by the Constitution itself.
- The correct answer is (c). All three of the statements are correct. If the election of the President of India is declared void by the Supreme Court, all acts done by him/her in the performance of duties of his/her office of President before the date of decision become invalid. Election for the post of the President of India can be postponed on the ground that some Legislative Assemblies have been dissolved and elections are yet to take place. When a Bill is presented to the President of India, the Constitution prescribes time limits within which he/she has to declare his/her assent.
- The correct answer is (d). None of the statements are correct. When the Lok Sabha transmits Finance Bill to the Rajya Sabha, it can only make recommendations. The Rajya Sabha cannot amend or reject the bill. In the case of disagreement between the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, a joint sitting of both Houses is held to resolve the deadlock. The Money Bill is a special type of bill that deals with matters related to taxation, borrowing, and expenditure. The Constitution provides that a Money Bill can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha. The Rajya Sabha can only make recommendations on a Money Bill, and the Lok Sabha is not bound by these recommendations. If the Rajya Sabha does not pass a Money Bill within 14 days, it is deemed to have been passed by both Houses.
- The correct answer is (b). Only two of the statements are correct. Once the Central Government notifies an area as a Community Reserve, the Chief Wildlife Warden of the State becomes the governing authority of such forest. Hunting is not allowed in such area. People of such area are allowed to collect non-timber forest produce. However, people of such area are not allowed to practice traditional agricultural practices.
